18.5 WSM grate sizes

[Jen H]

I am missing a grate on my used WSM. Can someone tell me the size of the lower cooking grate and the charcoal grate? Thanks.

Go here:

Find the part numbers and either search the web or go to the Weber site and get the parts.

Here's two links at Amazon which have the size listed as 17" for the lower grate and 15.25" for the charcoal grate.

Hope that helps.

Congrats on your score Jen! You have beaten my $30 steal of an 18.5" WSM. The charcoal grate measures 15.25" and likely needs to be ordered as it is a unique size. The lower cooking grate is 17" and if you want it nickel coated, you'll have to order it as well, but it is the same size as the charcoal grate for a 22'5" kettle, so, if you want to save a few $ and season it yourself, you can pick those up at many hardware stores. If you do decide to order, you may do better ordering from Weber, as I believe they have a flat $7 shipping fee regardless of order size.

^^^ That and the new 2014 lower cooking grates have handles built into them.
